Chapitre 417: Si Fang's Attempt

"Now!" He Rong shouted as he grabbed Si Fang's hand and used himself to throw his senior upwards. They had barely passed a quarter of the vertical tree climb when Shu began disrupting the group of four store owners that challenged it.

He Rong was stuck in a growing number of vines that appeared suddenly from the tree trunk. The only thing he could remember was that he stepped on something slightly slippery and all of a sudden, the vines grabbed him as if it was about to devour him. The only thing he could do now was to assist his other teammates.

The Sakura Treant had also summoned his pet Praying Mantis to attack the group though Lai Fu stayed back, intercepting it early on so the other three could continue their ascend. Unlike the fight against Jin, the Praying Mantis merely upset their tempo and did not aim exclusively at Lai Fu's vitals.
